Mary, Thank you for your response to our 10 minute thesis presentations today and, perhaps, especially your comment that "the connections among them were and are rich and intriguing," which was most gratifying to read. Jon is mostly to thank for making those connections, and I personally appreciate his including examples of my trikonic vectors in his presentation, as well as his mentioning my notion of ur-continuity in connection with a theory of the origin of the cosmos, one which does *not* begin with an inexplicable, but apparently at least quasi-*material *'Big Bang'. This alternative theory is, of course, Peirce's, that theory subtly, richly and, in my opinion, convincingly developed by Jon over the past few years in List posts and published papers.
I should add that, in good time, both Gary Furhman and I will also be posting our Powerpoint slideshows to Peirce-L. For now, however, we don't want to overwhelm the List with too much material too soon. Still, we are indeed eager to begin discussions of our presentation topics, beginning with Jon's. With that in mind, I'll copy here his impossibly succinct summary of what he covered in his presentation today, this as a springboard to further discussion. Jon Alan Schmidt wrote: Peirce’s mature topical conception of continuity mathematically defines it in accordance with Gary Richmond’s categorial vector of representation, from 3ns through 1ns to 2ns. Such continuity is discovered in phaneroscopy by observing and attending to the flow of time, the nature of the phaneron itself, and experience as its compulsive aspect, especially perception. Applying such continuity in semeiotic and metaphysics facilitates gaining a better understanding of semiosis and objective idealism, leading to the plausible hypothesis of the reality of God. I would hope that it goes without saying that one does not have to have attended today's 10 minute thesis to jump into the conversation.
